About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Espionage!

Munich, from Amsterdam, via Basle, to Ventimiglia, to and fro, in all directions, the heavy locomotives of the great international railways go roaring upon their way, speeding through the fields and cities and villages of a busy land, in which, as in a single State, men live, love, labour, die, and beget new life. This land is Europe.

The nations of this land are closely bound together by the activities which make them mutually inter dependent, shaping the individual destinies of all its inhabitants, and giving them all a common likeness. In the cabinets of the governments of these nations problems await solutions which will surely improve the conditions of life for the individual, and guide the struggle for existence of individuals and peoples alike into better and humaner forms. It is the same in Berlin, in London, in Petersburg, in Paris.
